In the UK, each week, two women are killed by their partners and the frightening reality is that it can happen to anyone. Domestic abuse doesn’t recognise age, class, cultural background or education.

In this film, we enlist the advice of seven experts and we hear the essential steps which would allow a victim of domestic abuse to prepare themselves emotionally and practically to walk away safely. We hear from a policeman, a medical doctor, an independent domestic violence advisor, a therapist, a refuge manager and a victim support manager, who talk us through the ways and means of accessing the help and support available.
